Bug Description

In Kodi, try to add a smb:// URL for a share that doesn't allow guest logins and you'll get a cryptic "File Exists" error. It never asks for login credentials. From online searching, this is most likely due to a bug in libsmbclient where smbc_opendir will return EEXIST instead of a more appropriate error code if invalid login credentials were provided.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.
